OT - American politics

Well, he was a man who wanted to run for president, won the
republican nomination, and then won the presidency. He put his money
where his mouth is, unlike the majority of celebrities who swore
they'd leave the country if Trump won! Did any of them actually
leave?

By this time Obama had his economic stimulus package through Congress
and signed into law. King Trump is spending his "honeymoon" arguing
about the size of his election win, arguing about the size of his
crowd, making an ass of himself with the immigration ban, going to
war with the media, pissing off allies like the Australian PM.

Maybe you need it broken down in simpler terms for you?
Imagine ... a man ... he's a son, a brother, a father, a businessman, a
husband, a sport's fan, an alpha male, likes sarcasm, is a practical
joker, feels pain at someone elses loss... etc....
They are all the same man, but you don't see all he is every time he speaks.

Many people have an opinion of Trump from clips and sound bites and what
the press has said about him. His campaigning style was like a pet
rally and not full of substance. I've heard prepared speeches of his
and read his proposals and they are quite sensible.

I think it's the old herd mentality. It's easier to follow than to
stand out on your own. If you do the latter, you risk being seen and
when people see you, that means they can attack you as a group.
pfffffffft! I can't stand bullies like that.

Of course those video clips and sound bites of Trump were the real Trump,
him in his own words and actions. Whether declaring McCain to be no war
hero, smearing MExican illegals as a bunch of rapists, or mocking a
disabled reporter's disabilities. The prepared speeches are written
by speech writers. His written proposals? What would those be?
Other than the usual vague campaign BS, he has no proposals. Perhaps
you can show us the one on replacing Obamacare? Trump: "It will be
tremendous. Lower deductibles, lower premiums, coverage for all"
Is that what you call a proposal? And just yesterday, Trump told
a bunch of governors, "who would have thought healthcare could be so
complicated". Doh!

Not at all. He did the same thing with his convention speech. Everyone
said, wow, there's a whole new Trump. Within hours, the very next
morning, he called a news conference to attack Ted Cruz and his father,
all over again, including the lunacy about the JFK assassination.
I have confidence that the real buffoon is still with us.

That is because during the campaign you listened to American Pravda.
Think of there stuff as "weaponize print". Not to borrow
their phraseology, but American Pravda are truly "Enemies of
the People".
This time you got to actually listen to him. Night and day
difference.
